You Are Enough — A Gentle Self-Love Pause

Take a gentle pause.

Wherever your attention has been drifting,

Invite it to come home.

Right here,

Right now.

Take a slow,

Deep inhale.

And exhale,

Letting your body soften.

Now imagine a sweet,

Innocent baby sleeping peacefully.

Does this little one need to do anything to deserve love?

Does it need good grades,

Medals,

A higher salary,

Or proof of worth?

Or is it loved simply because it exists?

And wouldn't the same be true for you?

Aren't you worthy of being loved simply by being born?

What if you have been worthy from the very moment you came into existence?

What if nothing you do could ever take that away?

And what if today is the day you begin to offer yourself evidence of this?

Not by trying harder,

But through kindness towards yourself.

Through the way you speak to yourself.

Through allowing yourself to feel exactly as you do.

Inhale deeply into this truth.

Let it fill your chest,

Your belly,

Your whole body.

Exhale slowly,

Gently releasing.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes.

Thank yourself for this moment.

You are enough,

Just as you are.
